Touchpad Not Working i2c_hid i2c-MSFT0001:00

[sdfgsd]

Hello,
I'm having problems with selecting kernel modules. I can't get the i2c_hid module to work with my i2c touchpad. It works with another livecd distro but it does not work on my new install.

it seemed to detect this hid 1.00 mouse on live cd but I don't know what configuration has been used. Can someone help me out? I can only use touchscreen right now and it's a pain.
Thank you so much.

Boot from the livecd and invoke command lspci -k from root and look what kernel module is loaded.

You have a Synaptics device (06cb), so the standard usbhid driver or one of the entries under {Input Devices -> Mice} should support it.

i2c-hid is claiming the device first and preventing the other drivers from loading, so you need to remove or blacklist that.

Boot from the livecd and invoke command lspci -k from root and look what kernel module is loaded.

the lspci -k command does not show the i2c touchpad becuase it's not over pci, it's over i2c. It will show my smbus driver only.

@Ant P.

both devices are 06cb the touchpad and touchscreen. one is over usb, the other is over i2c. Removing i2c_hid didn't do anything for me.

are there any other logs I can pull from ubuntu livecd that touchpad works under besides dmesg to see how I can get this to work?

Have you tried adding i8042.nopnp to kernel command line?

Have you tried adding i8042.nopnp to kernel command line?

Although I tried before, there must have been some new modules I installed that made it work now. Thanks so much, it fixed my problem.

Could you please mark your thread as [SOLVED] if you fixed the problem.
